Benefits of personas

Jared Spool looks at three particular benefits of using personas to inform the website development process. With each benefit, he illustrates his point with examples of how personas were used by development teams.

Encouraging communication and discussion within the development team about end user requirements

Facilitating role playing which again promotes discussion and understanding of end user needs.
